2 Best Places to Shop in The Southern Coast, Belize

The largest gift shop on the Southern Coast, and one of the country's best, GariMaya has a terrific selection of Garifuna and Maya crafts, including masks, clothing, jewelry, and wood carvings, although a few items appear to be imported from Guatemala and Mexico. (Look carefully.) You'll also find a good selection of souvenir T-shirts, too, more artistic than the ubiquitous Belikin wear.

This small gallery in an unassuming white building sells Garifuna drums, masks, wood carvings, and other locally made items. In the gallery you'll find rotating exhibits on Garifuna life.
